C#m7
It's close to midnight,
F#7
and something evil's, lurking in the dark.
C#m7
Under the moonlight,
you see a sight, that almost stops your heart.
F#7
You try to scream,
C#m7
but terror takes the sound, before you make it.
F#7
You start to freeze,
C#m7
as horror looks you right between the eyes;
G#m
You're para-lyzed.
C#m E
'Cos this is; Thril-ler, Thril-ler Night;
F# C#m
And no one's gonna save you
F#7 F#m7
from the beast about to strike.
C#m E
You know it's; Thril-ler, Thril-ler Night;
F# C#m F#7
You're fighting for your life,
A7 F#7 C#m7
inside a killer, Thriller, to-night.
Interlude :
C#m7
C#m7
You hear the door slam,
F#7
and realise there's nowhere left to run.
C#m7
You feel the cold hand,
and wonder if you'll ever see the sun.
F#7
You close your eyes,
C#m7
and hope that this is just imagi-nation.
F#7
But all the while,
C#m7
you hear the creature creepin' up be-hind;
G#m
You're out of time.
C#m E
'Cos this is; Thril-ler, Thril-ler Night;
F# C#m
There ain't no second chance
F#7 F#m7
to kill the thing with forty eyes, girl.
C#m E
Thril-ler, Thril-ler Night;
F# C#m F#7
You're fighting for your life,
A7 F#7 C#m7
inside a killer, Thriller, to-night.
Bridge :
F#7
Night creatures call
Amaj7 B
and the dead start to walk in their masquerade.
C#m7 F#m6
There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien, this time;
Amaj7 G#7sus G#7
This is the end of your life.
C#m7
They're out to get you;
F#7
there's demons closing in on every side.
C#m7
They will pos-sess you;
unless you change the number on your dial.
F#7
Now is the time,
C#m7
for you and I to cuddle close to-gether.
F#7
All through the night,
C#m7
I'll save you from the terror on the screen;
G#m
I'll make you see...
C#m E
That this is; Thril-ler, Thril-ler Night;
F# C#m
'Cos I can thrill you more
F#7 F#m7
than any ghost would dare try.
C#m E
Thril-ler, Thril-ler Night;
F#7 A7
So let me hold you tight, and share a killer,
F#7 A9 C#m7 F#7
Diller, chiller, Thriller here to-night.
C#m E
That this is; Thril-ler, Thril-ler Night;
F# C#m F#7 F#m7
'Cos I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare try.
C#m E Thril-ler, Thril-ler Night;
F# C#m
So let me hold you tight,
F#7 A7 F#7 C#m7
and share a killer, thriller, ow!
C#m7
...I'm gonna thrill you tonight.
Vincent Price Spoken :
C#m7 A
Darkness falls across the land,
B F#
the midnight hour is close at hand.
C#m7 A
Creatures crawl in search of blood,
B F#
to terrorise your neighbourhood.
C#m7 A
And whosoever shall be found,
B F#
without the soul for getting down,
C#m7
Must stand and face the Hounds of Hell
A B F#
and rot inside a corpse's shell.Vocal Ad-lib.
C#m7 A B F#
C#m7 A B F#
C#m7 A B F#
C#m7 A
B
The foulest stench is in the air;
F# C#m7
the funk of forty thousand years,
A B
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb,
F#
are closing in to seal your doom.
C#m7 A
And though you fight to stay alive;
B F#
your body starts to shiver,
C#m7 A
For no mere mortal can resist,
B F#
the evil of The Thriller...
